Itwari station sets up ramp for the disabled

The Nagpur Division of the South East Central Railway has become the first in
the zone to introduce a portable aluminum ramp facility for senior citizens,
unwell and disabled passengers. The ramp is at the Itwari railway station.

The new facility will ensure passengers are shifted directly into the coach.
The ramp is lightweight and can be carried by one person.

SECR plans to introduce the ramp at eight stations. It will be available
along with the wheelchair and a staff. There are plans to further modify the
design.

Hi, I'm Bhavna Sharma. An Inclusion Strategist with Newz Hook. Yes, I am a person with disability. But that doesn’t define who I am. I am a youth, a woman and also the 1st Miss Disability of India 2013. I wanted to achieve something in life and I have been working for the last 9 years. I have recently completed my MBA in Human Resources because I want to grow. I am like every other young person in India. I want a good education, a good job and I want to help my family financially. So you can see I am like everyone else, yet people see me differently.

Here is the Ask Bhavna column for you where I would like to talk to you about the law, society and people’s attitudes and how we can build inclusion in India together.

So, if you have a question about any issue related to disability, bring them out and I can try to answer them? It could be a question relating to a policy or of a personal nature. Well, this is your space to find the answers!
